E8600 + LN2 should help, seems like computersmsa has good stepping in store.

ALL E8600 are good clockers, people are calling each chip 'golden' because it goes over 6300MHz :lol:

All reported chips, what about these you don't read about?

I mean that 85% of all E8600's can do 6G on lnē with enough voltage. On XS and OCX, you will find almost every E8600 owner calling his chip a golden chip, because it can do 6.3G CPU-Z stable, which isn't really golden.

do note that 85% of those are ES and not retail ;)

Cool, since my last overclock my hw points didn't really drop lower. I should really take my 8800GTS to the extreme, should get me over 200 mark.

yup, benching not brand new hardware gets your more lasting points @ the Bot. I've been over 100HWboints for more than 2 years now without any active benching :D
